Hi
Interesting discussion, about the abs. I remember reading that holding weights and doing waist exercises, like bending from side to side, can thicken your waist. But most exercise books/sites say that the abs are not like other muscles and if you don't use weights to work them, you can exercise them six days out of seven. I suppose it depends on the type of exercise you do. I tend to avoid doing them at the gym to save time, intending to do them in the evenings at home and then forget or don't have the time or inclination, and regret it later. So this is one of my goals this time: the Matthews Ab workout every day at home, without fail. Now I've written it down I will have to stick with it
